North Korea reported on Trump’s birthday parade and they are brutal with their descriptions. ‘The inferior leader pictured here looking old, confused and tired sat next to an expensive prostitute and a drunk television host for the duration of the parade.’ 😭

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Please join us for a candlelight vigil to honor the memory of Melissa and Mark, as well as to hold John, Yvette, and Hope Hoffman in our thoughts as they continue to recover and heal.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

“If we do not stand up to Peter Thiel, they’re going to come after all of us.” 13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans. Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com BRAVO! Thank you for reading the letter sent by Tina Smith's aide Ed Shelleby to his colleagues in Senator Mike Lee's office I did two tours of duty in the Senate and Shelleby has the integrity I remember colleagues on both sides of the aisle sharing back then

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

Did you perceive how he laugh’d at his vice?

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

I don't feel.any better that he has been caught. Just incredibly distraught about possible further violence. State of our country. Fearful for all of us who have retired what is coming 😢 😭

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Yes, he was asked about the flag and I think people need to hear what he said. “My parents came from Mexico, that’s the thing. I’m Mexican. My blood is Mexican. I was born here, I love this country. I would fight for this country any day. But I’ve got to represent where my blood comes from.”

Something just hit me. Trump’s tactics might have just awakened a sleeping giant. All day, I’ve been seeing clips of children of immigrants newly activated: speaking up and pushing back harder than their parents ever could. Future voters.
